    RSX 1056 biamp config with NHT 2.5i question

    Hi, new 1056 owner here. Got a question for you all. My 86db speakers are not real easy to drive, although so far in my room, they sound very good with the 1056. I was thinking of buying a couple of subwoofer amps specifically made to drive the subwoofer section of my NHT 2.5's, namely the NHT SA-2 (120W). In essence, I would be biamping by having the front channel on the 1056 driving the the tweeter/mids and the woofer section would be driven by the sub amps. What do you all think? Do you think this would be a good setup? I'm thinking 75W will be plenty for the tweeter and midrange cone.

    The one nice thing about the NHT SA-2 sub amps are that they have a gain control which I think will let me tailor the bass, i.e. have tone control. Altneratively, I was thinking of getting a Rotel (1050/1070?) amp for biamping. Or I might just get a regular 2 channel amp (used) with volume/gain pots like the Parasound or Marantz and use that for the bass section. What do you all think?

    I took a look at the 2.5i's. Since the woofers are more of a built in sub setup I think you should be fine with the NHT amps.

      Thanks! The NHT amp is a subwoofer amplifier, class G. Does anyone know what advantage that would have over say a regular power amp? I think the frequency is already crossed over in this amp if that is any advantage. Is this definitely better than a regular power amp?

        Owned several Denon AVRs and looking to move into a better place for HT and music. My neighbor as a used 1056 about 1 year of age in great shape for a little less than 1K.

        Connecting Turntable to RSX-1056
        by merlock
        Hey guys,

        I've recently been considering getting back into vinyl, anyways I noticed that the RSX-1056 does not have a phono input. My question is, can I use a RC 1070 preamp as just a phono stage? Are there rca outputs that I could connect the RC 1070 to my RSX-1056? If I do this, is...

        Upconversion problems with 1056
        by angelo
        I don't know if anyone else is experience this, but my 1056 is doing
        component up-conversation from a s-video direct-tv tivo/receiver. When
        changing the channel the pq gets very distorted occasionally. It
        usually, but not always, happens when I have been watching TV for a

        NHT speakers with Rotel?
        by Hap C
        Anyone using their Rotel 1066/1075 combo, or other Rotel amp or receiver, to power NHT speakers? Currently have NHT VT2.4 fronts, VS2.4 center, and VT 1.2 rears, plus the NHT SubOne. My local Rotel dealer does not carry NHT and does not do at home demos. Would hate to buy Rotel (thinking of the 1066/1075)...
